Bipasha Basu turns 42 today, and what better day to take a look back at the bold roles the actress has taken in her stride. Although the star gained her foothold in the industry in an antagonistic role in 2001’s Ajnabee, Bollywood was quick to recognise her talents as a leading lady. The actress went on to make a name for herself in fast paced thrillers like Raaz and Dhoom 2. She also took the crown as a scream queen with the numerous horror films she took under her belt through the span of her two decade long career.

Here is a list of Basu’s boldest roles where she gives some no hold barred performances audiences will definitely swoon over.
